RAINBOW. This cactus is also known 
as Pin-cushion. Spines are small and 
compact. Grows cylindrical about two 
inches in diameter and six inches tall. 
Beautiful pink flowers. Each 25c. 
DEVIL’S HEAD CACTUS (Echino- 
Cactus Texensis). The cluster of bright 
scarlet fruits is even more attractive 
than the pink blossoms. Its spines are 
very strong and tough. Each 50c. 
DEVIL’S PIN-CUSHION (Mamilaria 
Heyderi). This species is fairly common 
but is rarely seen, unless a close search 
is made. It usually grows in the shelter 
of a bush or in the protection of a clump 
of prickly pear. Plants found in the southern area invari¬ 
ably have less radial spines. Each 35c. 
AGAVE AMERICANA. The common century plant. 
This plant produces the largest flower stalk in the United 
States and perhaps in the world. But this honor is dearly 
paid for, as the plant soon dies after the blossom reaches 
maturity in ten years. Each 25c. 
HEDGEHOG CACTUS (Echino-Cactus Setispinus). An 
addition to any flower bed, as the big yellow blossoms 
form continuously from April to late summer. A fairly 
common Cactus in the mesquite area. Each 25c. 
Germaco 
Hotkapg 
■ New Method of 
Plant Protection 
DESERT GOLD. A variety containing the light and 
deep hues of gold. Each petal overlaid at the base with 
a deeper golden yellow. Zinnia lovers will welcome Desert 
Gold. Pkt. 25c. 
CREEPING (Sanvitalia Procumbens). A lovely bright 
orange-yellow, double small Zinnia in appearance. A free- 
blooming trailing plant producing a wealth of flowers 
about six weeks after seed are sown. Pkt. 25c. 
EARLY WONDER NAVY BEAN. For dry shell beans. 
This prolific bean is better than the Tepary Beans because 
they grow about 16 inches high, set well with medium 
sized pods which don’t shatter or rot before dried, and 
crop ready to gather. A trial would please you. Lb. 35c.

(New Vegetable from Persia) 
Spaghetti on a vine in Nature’s own package. Thrives

yellow, oblong fruits are about 10 inches long, filled with 
a delicious spaghetti like pulp. When fully ripe cook the

boiling water; then cut it in half and remove seeds from 
center. With a fork pull the spaghetti-like contents from 
the shell. Season with salt, pepper, and butter and serve 
hot. Pkt. 25c. 
Hotkaps are waxed paper cones, easily set out in quan¬ 
tity over seed or growing plants. They guard against

tarn perfect mulch. Growth is forced and yield is increased 
10 to 25 per cent. Crops mature two or three weeks 
eailier.
